Alex Lowry

[Sunglasses Ron 2,460]

One of the few positives tonight. He didn’t look out of place at all and can only get better too.

Nah

[the brown brogue 1,909]

Well if nothing else he should certainly have moved ahead of Wright in the pecking order after tonight.

I love Scott Arfield and he has experience over the kid but Lowry might be the better player. It would be cruel to leave him out on Saturday.

He might not be ready to face Dortmund. That game is a different animal.

Don’t think any of our players are ready to face Dortmund to be fair. I doubt Lowry would be any worse than the rest.

[philiprfc 1,799]

I thought he was good again tonight, created a few good chances which is what we needed. Just a pity he never got any assists.

Has some work to do deeper in the field but early signs are really encouraging.

All depends how he handles the pressure , but I think I'd more likely play him in the Dortmund games than some key league games . 

[NorthernLights 2,526]

I don’t think he was man of the match but looks like a really promising player and should be an important part of the squad moving forward. 

[the goal machine 7,801]

Deserves to be part of the first team from now on. Not saying he should start every game obviously but needs to be kept in the squad. 

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798]

It’s funny how all the posters who claimed to watch the B Team all season were repeatedly claiming that none of the players including Lowry were ready for the first team and that our best youth players were out on loan.

Where did those posters disappear too?

[Siam69 26,876]

Very raw but confident, wants the ball, wants to take people on and make things happen.

Put in a few great crosses a certain Mr Defoe would have gobbled up no doubt.

Promising.

[Moody Blue 9,349]

Bi-polar attitudes in here where some will rave and some will criticise. However, I am so much happier that we use players like him in the squad as opposed to filling it with the shite we have eg Bacuna, Simpson, etc. Much rather these boys saw a route to the first team than buying pish from England that just don’t get our league or what it is to play for us.

Yeah I’d have rather kept Defoe than Itten to be honest.

Jesus fuck people have him playing against Dortmund 

[ayro 3,001]

Thought he was better tonight than Friday against a lot higher standard of opposition.

He was my MOTM for his 1st half performance, great maturity for a young kid.

Early days but looks a good prospect and should be in the 1st team squad going forward.

[Prso's headband 35,439]

He’s a first team player and should be involved in the match day squad at least from now on. His touch and control are really excellent, had the ability to just glide by a couple of players as well tonight and on another night would’ve had 2 assists. 
 

Did get shoved off the ball easily a few times and was caught in possession as well but a very solid night again.

Tbh Dortmund is a free hit, see no problem playing him in that match, he would get a real education either way imo. 

[Prso's headband 35,439]

Would be definitely looking to tie him down on a new deal as well. 

[bluenoz 30,835]

Posters laughed when others pencilled him into tonight's team selection. But there he was, and once again picked up the tv's motm. 

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

The negativity towards playing youth amongst some is astounding.

Mate get real. The boys a talent but would be struggling to find his feet against their reserves. Pitching him in against world class cente backs and midfielders in not development.

Its got nothing to do with negativity towards youth, the boys first game was last week against Stirling Albion. No doubt he should be in and around the first team squad, but given the importance of the season it would be criminal if we were in a position where we were relying on a relatively unknown youth prospect to suddenly start games against teams like the tims and Dortmund. 
I’ll say it again, if thats where we are we are in bother.

He either gets a footballing lesson or comes into his own. Nothing to lose really so I can just about see the logic in it

Do you think picking Lundstram ahead of him in that match will change things? I'm not suggesting it would develop him but would be an eye opener, let him see what real talent is and perhaps inspire him to up his game. 

Just think the Dortmund game is beyond us atm and giving the lad a place would be more beneficial than going with the likes of Lundstram. 

Even on as a sub imo.

Think that needs to be done quickly. Contract is up in May 2023. There will be cunts sniffing about unless we do.

[born a blue nose 90,760]

No wanting to get into it but the boys got a harsh story and I'm surprised he's made it through a lot of personal turmoil. 

I'll no speak another word on it but just giving a bit of context on his achievements.
